“I’m on a seafood diet,” goes an old joke. “I see food, and I eat it.” And that’s the problem. Evolution has equipped people (me included) with an instinct to stock up, nutritionwise
Everyone knows deep down that piling on the kilos is life-shortening. What they may not realise is that the converse—not just eating “sensibly”
That knowledge has provoked its own capitalistic response

11 个月There is a very strong link between food consumption and mental health which is often ignored. Certain foods contain protein which helps improve and support mental health. These foods which are rich in protein do have chemicals such as amino acids. Amino acids is used by the brain to produce substances called neurotransmitters (this improves brain function and allows neurons to communicate with each other throughout the body). With a good balance, these help to regulate thoughts and feelings hence helps reduce occurrence or symptoms of depression and anxiety. So consuming food wisely contributes to a stable mind which you need for work, business and every other function of life.

1 年Discovering the powers of ancient techniques that were used by the sages, prophets, gurus… Amazing. 21st century man is a blind creature. Blind to the past, and because of that, to the future. Et voila.

1 年I believe the issue of diet, food &eating habits are avoidable if one have self displine and conscious of one's health. UPF fantasies of satisfying a desire or an urge to a lifestyle which one crave for is rampant with a false social standing just like the cigarettes' were in 1960&70s so is the mass attraction to this UPF(utra-processed foods).As media 'HYPE' plays it's part Governments, food processors ,&fast food ventures 'MUST' take a stand to contains or control the consumption despite revenue loss risks as insurance companies hike premium for UPF takers.This will protect the client who will be healthy to work, spend, save and invest lowering budgets on HEALTH. Novadisk is making money out of one of it's products that is now being used for weight loss instead of diabetes treatment as Viagra has found ready clientele for erection dysfunction. Both obesity & erectile dysfunction disorder are found to emanate from UPF and the remedy from those drugs are a side effect,So will Novadisk & pfizer so no to those revenues stream, i guess no Effects of UPF consumption; Obesity 66% Cardiovascular disease 50% Dibatetes2 12% Mental disorder53% Depression 22% Death by any other cause 21% BUT ALSO LINKED TO ASHMA & CANCER
